Major Corporations have been raping our land, destroying our small businesses, and writing government policy for far too long. Their latest conquest...... Ian McKaye's Minor Threat. It's seems that nike has decided to take the album cover art of the indie-credible Minor Threat and rework it into a sneaker ad targeted at skaters, punks and Dischord fans everywhere. This would be fine, although a surprising sell out, if the sweatshop sneaker company asked the band's permission. Surprise, surprise, they didn't. If you haven't already, Stop buying nike. If this theft isn't reason enough for you, check out the documentary "The Big One". For all you fans of nike's subsidiary, converse, and their Chuck Taylor All Star, get the sweat shop free union made version at No Sweat Apparel. We have to vote with our dollars. It's the only thing anyone seems to care about.
"No amount of money is worth losing control of our music."
